Intro & New Features
The Bauer 950 goalie mask has been redesigned for the 2025 season to provide goalie with high-level protection and comfort at all times. The mask features a Kraibon reinforced carbon shell, a thermocore zero sweatband and DCT cup with a stretch spandex harness.
Outer Shell
Bauer has implemented an all new KRAIBON reinforced carbon shell, which is an upgrade from the previous Powercore composite shell. The new outer shell is designed to provide goalies with high-level protection from impacts that may come their way. The shell construction is also lightweight, which provides goalies with a mask that they can wear and not feel weighed down.
Liner
Inside the mask, Bauer added Poron material inside the cheeks and forehead. The Poron material is designed to provide comfort to goalies while they wear the mask. The durable foams are very high-quality which means they won’t wear down as easily. The DCT crown features lightweight and durable padding in the crown that promotes comfort while reducing sweat and water retention.
Cage
The 950 cage utilizes a strong new enhanced puck view wire to suit more goalies sight-lines providing better vision on the ice when compared to previous profile masks.
Chin Cup
The mask uses a DCT deep fit cup with stretch spandex harness. This design allows goalies to rest their chins on the cup which is comfortable during the play.
Sweatband
The sweatband in the 950 mask is made up of Bauer’s Thermocore Zero material, which is designed to wick away sweat and moisture, keeping you cool while on the ice.
Certification
With the CSA straight bar cage, the 950 has both HECC and CSA certification. The mask is suitable for playing in both Canada and the USA in the current configuration.

Goalie Mask Sizing
When purchasing a new goalie mask, it is crucial to ensure that it fits properly. Even entry-level masks with a proper fit will do a better job at protecting the head compared to a superior model that is not fitted properly. Unlike other pieces of goalie equipment, we don't typically size goalie masks for growth as a) it sacrifices protection and b) the foams inside the mask will expand over time creating more room for the head.
What Size Goalie Mask Am I?
The first step is to approximate your size using the sizing charts listed on any individual mask’s product page on our website; usually this is accomplished by matching a head circumference and/or hat size to a given mask size. When measuring your head’s circumference, it is important to measure at approximately 1” above the eyebrows while keeping the tape measure parallel (at the “hat line”) around the entire head. In addition, when using hat sizes should be those of fitted hats that aren’t overly tight or loose.
Sizing & Fitting A Goal Mask Properly
Once a size has been established there are four parameters the goaltender should be looking for:
- 1) The top edge of the window (opening inside the cage) is about 1” above the eyebrows and the sweatband inside the mask sits directly on the skin (ie. there is no gap between the mask and forehead).
- 2) The backplate hugs the back of the goaltender’s head and its edges don’t extend past the edges of the mask’s shell. Here, we want to reduce the possibility for gaps at the back of the goaltender’s head as well as ensuring the head is secure inside the mask. It should be noted, that if all other parameters are met as far as fitting is concerned, the backplate extending a little too far isn’t of major concern.
- 3) The chin cup is tightened such that it is worn securely against the chin and prevents the mask from shifting up and down while on the head.
- 4) The temples and/or cheeks are snug against the foam of the mask such that there are little to no visible gaps on each side of the head and prevents the mask from shifting laterally while on the head.
Once these have been accounted for an indicator of good fit is if the mask shifts on the head. Try grabbing the cage and shaking the mask back and forth – if the mask forces your head to move (rather than the mask moving on your head) you’ve got a great fit!
General Goalie Mask Upkeep & Maintenance
Be sure to check your fit every few months, specifically compressed foams inside the goalie mask. You also want to keep an eye on dented cages and stretched harnesses. These will happen overtime through regular use, and can compromise fit and safety. If you are at all worried about the fit or safety of your current mask, do not hesitate to contact one of our goalie experts for advice.
